    ChrisF was wondering if the Udoo supports HDMI-CEC ?

    I can certainly see where that support would be useful for HTPC-type applications of the Udoo...

    I dug around a bit on the Vivante and Freescale sites but didn't find any reference to it. Just looking for a definitive answer.

    HDMI-CEC is supported by the hardware but has not been enabled kernel side, it will on the next releases.

    Does anybody know if any of these boards have HDMI-CEC control?

    Thank you for the reply Andrea! That is great news! Looking forward to hearing more about it! The Udoo quad is looking better and better in my book :)

    Does anyone know the current status of CEC control being made available in the udoo kernel?

    I have compiled Stephan Raiffin's xbmc yocto image and the only thing it isn't able to do is use my tv remote to control xbmc through the pulse-eight cec software in xbmc. I take it all he needs is the CEC control to be available in the Udoo kernel?

    Hi Andrea,

    I had raised this issue with Stephan previously and he had stated that the current version of Udoo hardware does not support HDMI-CEC. The IMX6 CPU has supported for HDMI-CEC but the board does not wired the HDMI-CEC signal. According to the following link provided by Stephan:
    http://forums.wandboard.org/viewtopic.p ... =110&p=454

    The HDMI-CEC signal needs to go to KEY_ROW2 or the EIM_A25 pin of iMX6 CPU. I checked the published schematic for Udoo Rev D and both pins are not connected to anything.

    Please confirm if my interpretation of the schematic is corrected. If so, would Udoo team be able to provide a hardware patch to connect the signal.

    Regards
    PK
